AFL site does that you have to refresh for it to show half time.

    Bit weird watch Weid play well and then a GWS forward line with Bedford and Hogan in it.

    That's one glaring problem right there that's so easy to fix. Mark gets spoilt and punched forward to waiting opposition. So predictable 

     

    It become so predictable by the 2nd quarter that now opposition teams just swam in numbers to the contest that'd been kicked to and just put number us.

    Port did a number on this on our kick outs.

    Listening to Nathan Buckley comment on how well Collingwood are playing is odd.

    Whats changed since they finished 17th Bucks - seeings it’s 90% the same list? Oh, you got sacked.

    Has all the skills, my problem was his intensity, goes to show a regular game and structure in the forward line helps, I wonder where we could do that?

    Can’t help but feel we dropped the ball with Weed. We have TMac BBB and Schache doing very little when the Weed in the forward line with JVR who provides the intensity could have worked well.

    St Kilda showcasing the Belgian national colours.

    The Saints actually switched to those colours during WWI as the German colours were red, black and white.

    Toby Bedford can run but little impact. 

    Gritty win by the Saints. Would gladly take Wanganeen Milera off their hands.

    And who's fault is that we have a ruckman as a forward coach, should have changed it last year, kids like JVR and co need to learn forward craft at this level.

    The best batting coach I had was a world class bowler. One of the greatest swimming coaches of all time - couldn't swim. It is beyond dispute that there is little correlation between a coach's competence and their capabilities as a athlete.

    West Coast are putrid. Melbourne 2012-2014 level putrid.

    I reckon WC are setting new levels in this space BDA, not doing an AFL pre season type levels.

    How can the highest profiting club in the country not have a world class fitness and conditioning crew.

    The amount of injuries they have is unforgivable, it seems as though they have carried over the old can't train because of covid 19 excuse.

    Do they have a medical department?

    It's the biggest tank going around on wheels and know one in the media in either WA or VIC have dug up a thing.

    This is as systematic as it gets and Adam Simpson isn't even under pressure because the board have backed him to tank the lights out in 2022 and 2023.

    They were dead set turnstiles today.

    he got every chance in 2022. If he had come on we might have had a different outcome.

    Good luck to him at the Bombers but his time with us was up.

    Jesse Hogan on the other hand...

    Wait and see how he goes when Wright  and Jones return. He is playing with more run and leading I admit but for how long.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
